    Say whatever, but no other fancy lad made me aware of the case of the Human rights Lawyer being persecuted right now because he won a case for native people in the Amazon against US oil companies. Anyone I know who listens has been drawn left by the pod. Some to a large degree. If you want to shit on that fine, but it doesn't have to be vindictive.

    still upvoting tho.

      this is basically the only correct take. we can be critical of chapo, but theres no denying how much influence they've had on pushing people left

      These social communities only exist to complain. people don't meet up on a message board to discuss a podcast episode, they meet up to complain and find people that agree with them.

    The world has progressed beyond the need for the Chapo Trap House podcast.

      This is false. Where else will I learn about poorly written sitcoms?

      For everyone asking how to grow the chapo chat community…

      I kinda think a common reason that normie reddit users avoided places like /r/cth is because they read “reviews” of the place or various hot takes in other subreddits which are often unfair summaries, since obviously we are a threat to many various monied interests.

      Like, it might be true that one or more of the chapo podcasters is a social media brat like another commenter said (I’m not saying that, but it’s within the realm of possibility). But you can’t just lump the cth podcasters in with the very subreddit they have clearly denounced, and that’s exactly what libs/wokies/shills/etc did to steer people away.

      The pod choosing to distance from /r/cth not a value judgment either, since it makes sense they’d want to stay away from something they couldn’t control easily, and that’s fair. CTH posters should not be butt hurt over such an obvious business/PR/sanity decision.

      I haven’t even listened to the pod lately, but have sporadically enjoyed Matt’s twitch ramblings now and again. Let them decide to do what they want to do, but more importantly I think we should focus on embracing the separation of the chapo chat community from the cth podcast. I’m sure they’d welcome that. There’s room for both things.

      No hard feelings. Uhh let me be clear: I was glued to the podcast for a year or so and it’s what single-handedly pulled me out of the alt/lib-right path I was once on not long ago, and it’s easy to find others like me in that regard.

        what part of “distancing” and “staying away” required gleefully dancing on the sub's grave and being a prick about it for half of an episode

      The world has not progressed, a lot of people got so pissed from quarantine they went out and protested, then got beaten and shot and scared back into quarantine. And the other half is out partying and getting sick.

          Friendship is all chemicals in the brain anyway. At the end of the day, it doesn't make any difference to me what chemicals they got in their brain if my chemicals are telling me we've got an intimate relationship

      I still maintain that their biggest fuck up was the mask fiasco. They knowingly downplayed the utility of masks, out of concern that there weren’t enough for hospital workers.

      Now that there are enough masks, no one wants them.

      It’s easier to change supply chains than people’s behaviour. Undercutting the latter for the sake of the former, at a time where trust in health institutions has never been more important, was an unbelievably a bad call.

      it's actually not as easy as you think! we just went over an adjustment to the algorithm one of our developers painstakingly worked on last night, and we should hopefully be ready to test something very soon _
